Chapter 6: Tucker's Day Back

When Danny woke up early on Wednesday morning he decided to get ready for school, since Tucker was back from Florida today. When Danny was finally finished getting ready, he heard the doorbell ring. "I'll get it!" Danny answered, expecting to see Tucker and Sam.

When he answered the door, he was surprised to see that it was only Sam who was at the door.

Danny asked, "Hey Sam. Where's Tuck?"

Sam answered, "Tucker called me earlier and told me to tell you that he was just going to meet us at school. Said he had a surprise for us and he wanted to give it to us at school."

Danny shrugged and said, "O.K., whatever. We should get going if we don't want to be late." With that the two best friends were off to school.

When Sam and Danny got to school they saw Tucker waiting for them at their lockers, "Hey, Tuck! How was Florida?" Sam and Danny said together.

Tucker replied, "You know how Florida's called the 'Sunshine State'?"

Danny and Sam nodded and said, "Yea, so?"

Tucker said, "They should rename it the 'Rainy State' because it rained everyday we were there, and you would think that if it rained, it'd be cold, but the rain actually made it hotter!"

Danny and Sam couldn't help but giggle at Tucker's misfortune.

Tucker rolled his eyes and asked, "So, how have things been here since I've been gone?"

Danny and Sam looked at each other and Danny said, "Things have been O.K., until yesterday."

Tucker asked, "Why, what happened yesterday?"

Sam answered in disgust, "Paulina happened yesterday."

Tucker asked, "What do you mean?"

Danny replied, "Yesterday in History me and Sam found drawings of us kissing on our desks, and in Computer class me and Sam got IM's saying 'I hear wedding bells for you two lovebirds!'"

Tucker asked, "Man, Paulina did that?"

Sam said, "Yes she did. Oh, Tucker what's the surprise you told me you had for me and Danny?"

Tucker took off his backpack and took out a box and when he opened it he took out a book that read, '100 Horror stories' and handed it to Sam. Then he took out a book that read, 'The encyclopedia of Outer space' and handed it to Danny.

Sam hugged Tucker and asked, "Thanks, Tucker! How did you know I was looking for this book?"

Tucker answered, "I accidentally saw it on your computer the day before I left for Florida."

Sam looked at him and said, "O.K. I'll let that one slide since you got me this book."

Danny and Tucker laughed until Sam said, "Man. I got to go to the library and read the book!"

Danny and Tucker said, "O.K., see you later, Sam."

Sam smiled and said, "Oh, Danny before I forget, meet me in the library at lunch, okay."

Danny looked at her and said, "Library at lunch, sure I'll be there."

When Sam left Tucker smiled and said, "So, I guess you're happy about lunch."

Danny asked, "What are you talking about, Tucker?"

Tucker answered, "You know, when you and Sam have your little meeting."

Danny rolled his eyes and said, "It's nothing, Tucker. She probably just wants to talk about what happened yesterday at lunch."

Tucker smirked and asked, "Oh, what happened at lunch?"

Danny answered, "Um, Sam almost got in a fight with Paulina."

Tucker asked, "What do you mean 'almost'?"

Danny replied, "Well, she would have hit Paulina if I hadn't told her to chill out. We even had to go to the back were nobody could see us."

Tucker once again smirked and said, "So, you and Sam were in the back alone and together."

Danny rolled his eyes and said in an annoyed way, "Tucker!"

Tucker opened his mouth to say something but just then the bell rang signaling the beginning of school. The day seemed to go by very slow for Danny. Even though it seemed that he wasn't excited about lunch, the truth was that had never been more excited or nervous about lunch before. When his class before lunch finally ended, he waited until everyone including Sam got out before he got out. He decided to take the long way to the library, he didn't want t seem too eager about seeing Sam.

When he got to the library Sam was sitting down and reading the book Tucker gave her, when Sam saw Danny she smiled and said, "Hey Danny, come here, sit down."

Danny smiled back to her and asked, "Hey Sam, why did you want to meet me here?"

Sam answered, "Because of this." She handed Danny a piece of paper that had another drawing of them, this one was of them holding hands and Sam was holding a baby stroller, and on the bottom it said: 'the future of Sam Manson and Danny Fenton'.

Danny sighed and asked, "Were did you find it?"

Sam answered, "I found it in the morning on my doorstep when I was coming to your house."

Danny asked, "Sam this is getting way of control, what are we going to do about this?"

Sam answered, "I don't now, but I do know that Paulina didn't do this drawing."

Danny asked, "How do you know?"

Sam replied, "Because the one that Paulina drew was in cursive, this one's in print."

Danny said, "O.K. lets think, who we know who wants to see us together, writes in print and knows where your house is."

At that second Danny and Sam said together, "Tucker!"

Sam asked, "Wait, how do we prove it's him?"

Danny thought for a while and then said, "I have an idea, come on!"

Then they were off to the cafeteria to find Tucker. When they found him, he was eating with Valerie.

Danny said, "Hey Valerie! Do you think me and Sam could talk to Tucker alone for a while?"

Valerie said, "O.K."

With that Sam and Danny took Tucker to an empty table. Tucker was a bit confused so he said, "What's going on, guys?"

Danny answered, "Nothing, can you write down 'The future of Sam Manson and Danny Fenton is going to college', please?"

Tucker asked, "Why do you want me to write that?"

Sam said, "Just do it, Tuck!"

Tucker sighed and got out a piece of paper and a pencil and began to write. When he was done he asked, "There, is there anything else you guys need?"

Danny answered, "No. You can go back to Val now."

When Tuck left Sam asked, "Well, is it him?"

Danny sighed and said, "'Fraid so, Sam."

Sam asked, "What are we going to do with him?"

Danny replied, "Maybe we should just ignore it, but if he does it again we'll just talk to him about it, after all he was just trying to help us, I guess."

Sam nodded in agreement and then they sat down at an empty table talking away the rest of lunch. When the bell rang signaling the end of lunch they waited until Tucker was with them.

When Tucker was finally with them he asked, "So, what did you guys talk about in the library?"

Danny and Sam looked at each other and Danny said, "Um, nothing really important."

Tucker looked at Sam and asked, "Sam, I know you'll tell me the truth, what happened at lunch?"

Sam blurted out, "All, right! We know you're the one who left the drawing of me and Danny at my house!"

Tucker looked surprised and said, "I didn't leave a drawing of you and Danny at your house."

Danny replied, "Yes you did! The one with me and Sam holding hands and Sam holding a baby stroller and at the bottom it said: The future of Sam Manson and Danny Fenton" He took out the drawing and handed it to Tucker.

Tucker looked at the drawing and said, "I didn't draw this."

Sam asked, "Are you sure, Tucker?"

Tucker said, "Positive! I'm not good at drawing necks, this neck looks perfect! Here I'll show you." Tucker drew a body on the back of the paper and true to his word, the neck was horrible.

Sam and Danny were confused, if Tucker didn't do the drawing, who did?
